High efficiency furnaces are trouble-free for the first 7 years or so
but then furnace hell begins.

I paid $420 to have the draft inducer replaced on a 9 year old furnace.

One of the vacuum safety switches also failed but that repair was only
$140.

So any fuel savings is easily offset by higher initial cost and huge
repair bills.
Hi,
Our urnace has 10 yr P&L warranty. After that I fix it myself if
something goes wrong. Easy to get parts for Carrier furnace. I chose
X13 blower motor with speed selection taps, not the VS type which
has frequent controller problems.
